[Fixed]-Django Custom User Model EmailField not Validated

by

1👍

To validate model fields, do not save the instance directly.

Run clean_fields() and/or full_clean() on model before saving.

>>> u = User(username='foo', password='bar', email='foobar')
>>> u
<User: foo>
>>> u.clean_fields()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/vikas/.virtualenvs/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 1161, in clean_fields
    raise ValidationError(errors)
django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: {'email': ['Enter a valid email address.']}
>>> u.full_clean()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/vikas/.virtualenvs/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 1136, in full_clean
    raise ValidationError(errors)
django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: {'email': ['Enter a valid email address.']}

Also, it is a very bad idea to save user instances like this. Always use create_user() method to create users.
